Kia ex cee-d Cabrio

The styling of the eagerly anticipated ex_cee'd cabrio is the work of Peter Schreyer, Kia's new Chief Design Officer, and hints at the future direction Kia vehicles could be taking under his guidance.

Based on the new three-door cee'd hatchback, due to go into production at the Zilina factory in Slovakia from December, the ex_cee'd shares the same platform, but features all-new exterior panels and a powered folding fabric roof.

By adopting a fabric roof, the ex_cee'd deliberately goes its own retro way rather than following the trend towards cabrios with folding metal roofs. Peter Schreyer paid special attention to designing a classic cabrio with a traditional soft-top roof: "I'm convinced that the fabric roof will have a renaissance. We've all lived with the romantic idea of open-air driving for a long time and for me, the fabric roof is the quintessential element of a truly rewarding cabrio."

With its slight wedge shape profile, muscular wings over 19-inch alloy wheels, and aggressive nose with dynamic front styling, the ex_cee'd has instantly found a form that stands out from the cabrio crowd. The cabrio concept is finished in 'meringue white' exterior paint with a 'bitter chocolate' fabric roof - colours that are echoed by the interior's two-tone leather.

"With this new cabrio concept car, Kia has once again demonstrated that it is a young, style-conscious company that knows how to combine elegance with dynamics," enthused Mr Yong-Hwan Kim, Senior Executive Vice President and COO Kia Motors.

"The Kia ex_cee'd is a fresh aesthetic high-point in our history, an encouraging sign of the growing internationalisation of our brand and a step in the process of evolving into a European company with Korean roots," he added.

Kia Pro_cee’d

The Pro_cee’d is 15mm longer and 30mm lower than the parent car which helps create a coupe-like appearance with genuine sporty appeal and a hint of the Audi A3.

The driver and passenger doors are 245mm longer than on the five-door version, while a roof spoiler, new fog lights, oval exhaust pipe and side belt line rising to the rear wheel arches all contribute to deliver a convincing sporty look. It looks especially good in white.

In fact only the front wings and bonnet come from the five-door model and the rear looks completely different, supporting Kia’s view that this is a significant model in its own right rather than a five door with a couple of doors removed.

Step inside the car and you are greeted by the same interior as the Cee’d.

The lowered roof, larger doors and a more shallow windscreen (starting slightly lower down the car) are the main indications this is a different car to the Cee’d.

Overall, there are fewer interior differences. The Pro_cee’d shares the same bulbous central console housing audio controls and air-con found in the five-door while the warm, orange illuminated information display is dominated by the central speedo, flanked by rev counter on one side and fuel/temperature gauges on the other.

"The next generation of Magentis possesses the power to surprise," says Peter Schreyer, Kia's Chief Design Officer. "It's a car that people will simply not expect from Kia - and that's exactly what we set out to achieve."

The saloon exudes an athletic confidence from every angle - its raked roofline, high and pronounced shoulder line of its sculpted flanks and its extended wheelbase are complemented by flared wheelarches and a shallow glasshouse that create a saloon with a muscular, self-assured stance.

The striking visage of the car features a new interpretation of Kia's bold ‘tiger' family face that's edged by piercing projector headlamps.

Following the theme of recent model revisions, new Magentis is longer, lower and wider than before, the Kia's coupe-like profile is enhanced by the sweeping chrome arc that flows from A to C pillar, a distinctive design motif that visually lowers the car further still and enhances its cab-backwards proportions.

"For this car we started with a clean sheet and worked to achieve an exterior design with a European feeling and stance," explains Gregory Guillaume, Chief Designer, Kia Europe. To help achieve this, the exterior was designed by his team in Frankfurt. The interior was created by the design team in California.
